IMPORTANTYour GLACIER® PRO PLOW FRAME KIT is exclusively designed for your vehicle. Please read the installationinstructions thoroughly before beginning. Installation is easier if the vehicle is clean and free of debris. For yoursafety, and to ensure a satisfactory installation, perform all installation steps correctly in the sequence shown.

ASSEMBLY TIMEApproximately 30 minutes

WARNINGRead and understand the following operating instructions to avoid severe personal injury or death.

Compliance with these safety measures will also ensure that your plow system will give you many years ofgood use. Retorque all bolts and nuts after first 1/2 hour of use.

• Do not exceed 5 MPH with blade installed.• Operate with extreme caution while on slopes, grades and rough terrain.• Keep away from blade and moving parts during operation.• When plowing snow or dirt into a pile start backing up before raising the blade.• Do not ram blade into a snow pile. Slow down before hitting a pile.• Beware of possible hidden objects under snow.• Read all plow system related owner’s manuals, vehicle operator’s manual and all safety decals beforeoperating.

• Always wear appropriate protective clothing as recommended in vehicle operator’s manual.• Do not allow passengers on blade or vehicle while operating the plow system.• Keep bystanders away from blade and vehicle while moving.• Before adjusting blade angle: Stop engine, put transmission in park and/or set and lock brakes, raise andlock blade in up position. Do not attempt to raise blade by hand.

• Before adjusting blade height: lower blade to the down position.• When blade is not in use, stop engine, set and lock brakes and lower blade to down position.• Polaris recommends removing blade and plow frame before trail riding.

OPERATIONTo adjust the blade angle for plowing to the side, raiseblade just enough to clear the ground. Pull the anglelever forward and pivot blade to the desired position.The angle lever will lock into place when the blade isat the correct angle.

To adjust the blade to be more or less aggressive, turnthe four position adjustable blade stops to the desiredposition making the blade more or less aggressive.

To minimize potential damage from hard impactswhile operating the plow, the blade is designed to tripwhen it hits a solid object or digs in too far. When thepressure is released the blade springs back into

position. Blade spring tension may be increased bytightening the locking nuts on the bottom of theeyebolts. To decrease spring tension, loosen the locknuts.

In the event of a collision with an obstacle at a speedgreater than what the system is rated for, the angleselection "T" pin 3! of the manual angulationmechanism is designed to shear to minimize the forceof impact into the pushframe.If the angle selection "T" pin is broken, inspect allcomponents of the plow system to see if any othersystem components have been damaged. If a part isdamaged, the impact speed was greater than whatthe system is designed to support. You must then buya replacement from your dealer.Should you need to replace the angle selection "T"pin, a spare pin is provided in the angle lever. Followproceeding steps 1-8 to change the "T" pin:1. Remove the "R" pin (62) and the clevis pin (61)

retaining the angle lever 2* in place.

2. Lift the angle lever 2* and remove the spare "T"pin 3!.

IMPORTANTVisit your Authorized Polaris Dealer to order a new

“T” pin and replace the original spare you justremoved in the event of an additional hard impact

failure.

3. Remove the two tension springs (short) 3(retaining the "T" pin 3!.

4. Remove the two pieces of broken "T" pin.5. Insert the new "T" pin.6. Replace the angle lever 2*.7. Reinstall the angle lever pin (61) and the "R" pin

(63).8. Replace the two tension springs (short) 3(.

NOTEThe "T" pin is designed only to protect against the

impacts affecting right and left ends of the blade. The"T" pin does not protect the system from a central

impact.

IMPORTANTAlways inspect the entire system in the event of ahard impact to ensure that no damage occurred toany system components other than the "T" pin.

PUSHFRAME INSTALLATION AND REMOVALIf you have purchased a hydraulic lifting system, referto installation manual supplied with the hydraulic liftsystem.

NOTEThe first installation requires you to adjust the height

of the kickstand 4& so that the openings of theattachment plates are horizontally aligned with thevehicles attachment points. It may be necessary torepeat the exercise if you add accessories to yourvehicle that affect the ride height of the vehicle.

NOTEIf the vehicle is too low, you may need to adjust thevehicle height by changing the adjustment of thefront suspension. Refer to vehicle manual for the

adjustment method.

Height Adjustment Of The KickstandThe kickstand 4& should be adjusted so that when theplow is sitting on level ground, unattached from thevehicle, the opening of the lower attachment platesare of equal height with the connection points on thevehicle. Tighten or loosen the kickstand shoe (54) toraise or lower the plow frame attachment plates andtighten the nuth when the height is adjustedproperly.

Pushframe Installation1. Move the vehicle towards the pushframe

assembly. Make sure to align the vehicle with thepushframe.

2. Make sure the vehicle is fully engaged in theattachment plates on both sides.

3. Rotate the hook up assembly 4) into position bypulling up towards the vehicle until the latchingmechanism on the hook assembly engages thevehicles front attachment mounting tube.If the hook does not engage completely, check thatthe connection points on the vehicle are fullyseated into the attachment plates. Accumulation ofsnow or ice could prevent the pushframe from fullyengaging the connection points on the vehicle.

4. Once the pushframe is attached to the vehicle,ensure that the kickstand is slightly raised off theground (1+” recommended). If touching theground, repeat steps of adjusting the height of thekickstand.

5. Connect the hook of the winch onto the winch link(67) that was supplied with your kit.

Instr 9928551 Rev 01 2017-08 Page 13 of 15

6. Using the winch, raise the pushframe until thekickstand release lever engages and the kickstandis lifted automatically. The blade should be abouthalfway up when the kickstand is released.

Pushframe Removal1. Lower the pushframe using the winch until the

blade touches the ground and the winch cabletension is fully released. Remove the hook of thewinch from the winch link (67).

2. Lower the kickstand until the locking mechanismengages. At that time, the kickstand shoe shouldnot touch the ground. If it touches the ground, theheight of the kickstand must be adjusted.

3. Pull the release handle 4! upwards and hold thehandle up while rotating the hookup assembly 4)forward and down. The system should now bedisengaged from the vehicle.

4. Retract the winch cable back into the fullyretracted position.
